CCS by 2020

I know that lots of people won't believe this. You probably should trust me though, I'm an engineer.

RWE yesterday began construction on a test scale carbon capture plant.
This is the post combustion plant, where the technology is most developed.

They say, in this article, that CCS will be ready for commercial oporation by 2020 - almost 10 years time.

This is interesting, not only to meet to EU 2020 targets, but also because Al Gore yesterday told America to stop burning fossil fuels over the next 10 years.
He wants the fuels not to be burnt so that they won't emit carbon. Clearly not heard of CCS then!
